Reshevsky Teaches Chess

This is one of the few chess books by Samuel Reshevsky, the greatest child prodigy of chess the world has ever known. This book starts as a basic beginners book, teaching how to move the pieces. It advances to important and instructive endgame positions which every chess player needs to study and learn. Then it concludes with illustrative games annotated by Grandmaster Samuel Reshevsky.

Not only was Reshevsky the greatest chess prodigy ever but he was also possibly the greatest chess player ever. He played games showing he was a master strength player by age 8. No other chess player has ever done that. Bobby Fischer is quoted as saying that Reshevsky was the strongest player in the world and would have easily defeated World Champion Botvinnik in a match. However, Reshevsky never got the chance.
